Carey Dunford
Vice President and Chief of Operations for Agro International
    Successful companies are successful because of the people they are made of. Richard Gibson first met Carey Dunford on a business trip to Mexico while developing an adjusting program for tomatoes for a major European reinsurer.

    At that time, Carey was Director of Agricultural operations for the Campbell soup company at their Sinolopasta plant in Los Mochis Mexico. He was in charge of the administration and production for mixed vegetables, green tomatoes, summer squash, sweet corn, bell peppers, cucumbers and melons on 1500 acres. In addition Carey was in charge of the Maquiladora program for development, production,and processing of 7500 acres of tomatoes at Campbell's Guasave site in Sinaloa Mexico.

    Carey's educational background is ideally suited for the crop insurance business as he has focused on agriculture and specialty crops. His studies include: 

    • Plant pathology, entomology and Spanish at the University of Arizona in Tucson where he currently resides; 
    • Extension studies in soils, farm management,and irrigation techniques at the University of Oregon at Corvallis Oregon;
    • Extension studies in post harvest handling of fruits and vegetables at the University of California at Davis;
    • Business management at Willamette University in Salem Oregon.


    Along the way Carey has worked in agriculture as a manager of processing and administration of vegetables, fruits, vine crops, root crops, sugar beets, potatoes, wheat and alfalfa.

    For the past ten years Carey has been with American Agrisurance, starting in Tucson, traveling Arizona (U.S.) and working part time for Agro International. In recent years he has assumed responsibility supervising the crop insurance activities for the western region states of Arizona, California and Nevada.

    Ago International has a continuing relationship with Commercial America in Mexico. In addition to his duties for the U.S. and Mexico, Carey has worked in Latin and South America with specific clients in Argentina and Brazil. With his language skills, Carey is a valuable asset in our ongoing and expanding role as consultants for existing or emerging programs throughout the world.
